rLAeMANs KIT.

Application filed July 21,

To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, JOHN T. PARKINS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Mandan, in the county of Morton and State of North Dakota, have invented new and useful Improvements in Flagmens Kits, of which the following is a specification.

This invention contemplates the provision of a flagmans kit, which consists of a receptacle divided in a special manner into a plurality of compartments arranged to receive the dierentarticles used by a flagman, sov that access may be readily had to any of ysaid articles as the occasion may require.

The nature and advantages of the invention will be better understood when the following detailed description is read in connection with the accompanying drawings, the invention residing in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts as claimed.

In the drawings forming part of this application, like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views, yand wherein:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the invention,

Figure 2 is a plan view with the covers of the receptacle opened and partly broken away,

Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on line 3-3 of Figure 1.'

Referring to the drawing in detail, 10 represents the receptacle above referred to, and it will be noted that this receptacle is designed similar to a hand bag of well known construction, although the size and shape of the receptacle can be varied without departing from the spirit of the invention. The receptacle as shown includes a sectional cov-er the sections being indicated at 11 and 12 respectively, both of which can loe swung to an opened position in the manner illustrated in Figure 2. The cov-er section 12 is provided with a handle 13 and also with a suitable lock 14.

Arranged centrally and extending longitudinally of the receptacle 10 is a solid par'- tition 15 which is formed with an enlarged central bore or opening 16 to accommodate a torepdo container, and at either side of this bore, the said partition 15 is further provided with a series of smaller bores 17 adapted to receive fusees. Arranged kat op.-

tions 18 and 19l respectively, the spaces between these partitions and the solid partition 15, defining compartments to receive day markers of different colors. The central solid partition 15 projects an appreciable distance above the partitions 18 and 19 as shown in Figure 3, and in fact this central partition'is of a height to constitute a. support for the overlapped meeting ends of the cover sections 11 and 12 respectively.

Each half of the receptacle is further subdivided by transverse partitions 20 intol a plurality of small compartments 21 Which are adapted to receive various articles used by a flagman, lfor instance electric lighting attachments for marker lamps,- waste, oil cups for tail lights, small red flags and other flagging material and thelike. Manifestly I have devised a kit of considerable merit for the purpose intended, in that the various things used by a flagrnan can be compactly arranged within the kit, and conveniently carried from place to place, so as to be always ready for use. Furthermore the invention can be manufactured and sold at a very nominal cost. n 1

While it is believed that from the foregoing description, the nature and advantages of the invention will be readily apparent, I desire to have it understood that I do not limit myself to what is herein shown and described, and that such changes may be resorted to when desired as fall within the scope of what is claimed.

What I claim is:

1. A agmans kit comprising a receptacle, a sectional cover therefor, centrally disposed solid partition arranged longitudinally of the receptacle, and having a series of openings designed to receive a torpedo container and fusees, said partition projecting above the sides of the receptacle and constituting a support on which the sections of the cover repose when closed, and a plurality of partitions dividing the receptacle into longitudinal and transverse compartments to accommodate other articles used by the flagman.

2. A flagmans kit comprising a receptacle, a solid partition arranged centrally through and longitudinally thereof, said p artition having a longitudinal series of openings designed to accommodate a torpedo Container and fusees, partitions arranged at either side of the solid partition in spaced parallel rela'- tion thereto; and' dividing' the receptacle into longitudinal compartments adapted' toV receive day markers anda plurality oftrans verse partitions arranged between the last mentioned partitions and tlie sides of the receptacle, dividing` the latter int-o a plurality of small compartmentsA adapte-d to accommodate other articles used ley-the flagman.

In testimony'whereol afix my signature.

JOHN T. PARKNS.
